Just Me Being Me

Sometimes I find it difficult to explain myself to someone, trying to explain the ways that I am unique, but how I am also similar to others.

Me, I am just like you. I am a living human being who lives on the planet Earth, just like you. I eat, drink, sleep and get on with general life like you do too. I have plenty of friends, like a lot of you do, but not too many, because I like to keep myself to myself.

Yet, I am different to you in so many ways. If you see me on my own in town somewhere, I will either be reading or listening to music. I read books pretty much every day. I feel that a lot of people follow the crowds... Not everyone of course, but a lot of people have a type, if you catch my meaning. They are a type of person. I don't like it.

Have you ever just got in from somewhere, you find you are in the house on your own and you just put your music on and lie down on the floor in a room? Does anybody else do that? It sounds a bit weird I know, but it's something I've done before, just because its quite calming really.

I've made myself sound a little bit strange now... No, it's like when you walk around in bare foot, just because the feelings you get make you feel human... Is that just me too? Gosh darn it. I'm finding this a little bit difficult to explain...

See... I told you.

I don't, as mentioned before, really care what people think about me, but I just like the feelings I get sometimes when this happens. It's like when you touch something furry in the shop and think "Oh that's nice." only, it's more of a physical experience for your whole body. Like when you lie down on a fluffy rug or when you change your bed sheets.

This is sort of a follow up blog to the one I did about living in my own bubble.

One of my passions is life. I like the feeling I get when I touch some things, like the snow on the hand rail, or the feeling of going outside on a windy day without a coat on, just for a minute. I think these things are overlooked by too many people, but it's one of the things that make me feel human.
